Just checked this place out after noticing it open a couple of months ago. All I can say is-- THIS PLACE HAS BUNDABERG GINGER BEER!!!! After coming back from Australia/NZ, I thought I would never be able to have Bundaberg again unless I shelled out another $1800 for the trip down under. I even tried making my own ginger beer but nothing tastes like Bundaberg (Ive had ginger beer from the Caribbean and from the UK). So you can imagine how psyched I am to find this down the block from me. (OK, I didnt really look too hard in NYC but lugging a 4 pack to Brooklyn every 2 days isnt practical anyway). Aside from the ginger beer, this place looks really cute. I used to live next door to it when it was a very depressing dimly lit bodega. Now its a really happy and cheerful, organic, all-natural, and regular grocery store. The prices arent too bad. I was expecting over $10 for my imported ginger beer, and smoked salmon. But the prices are actually normal (the smoked salmon cost almost the same as Trader Joes, and I paid more for Bundaberg in Sydney). I also dig that they have Barbaras natural snacks for the same price as Cheetos. They have an attractive produce section, but I havent checked the prices yet. The only thing is, Im not sure this area is as gentrified as theyre anticipating. So there arent too many people in here. Its definitely gentrifying, but waiting a year or two for it to get to that place might mean that they go under. Who knows though? I could buy soda from them everyday if that helps. If the owners of this place are reading. Please try to get Schweppes Agrum zero soda (from Europe) or if thats not possible Polars diet Dry Orange soda. That would make my life complete. Im clearly a soda addict.

I like this place. The employees are friendly and recognize me even if I havent been there for a while. They offer lots of produce and health food. I am also happy they offer lots of frozen vegan food options and they change it up every now and again which has me trying new things. I love that they carry Amys products, especially the soups. Its one of the few places nearby I know I can come to and they offer such a wide variety. I dont drink beer but they offer a large selection of beer it seems, especially foreign ones you may have trouble finding normally elsewhere. They are a bit pricey and I wish they were open later but its deff my go to for nearby specific healthy options to shop for.

I have lived in this area for 18 year and wish and waited for a place like this to come around. Love the fact that i can now get fruits and vegetables close by. They are a bit pricy and not consistent with their pricing. I.e., I brought Hagen Daz ice cream three times in a week each time the price was different. Other than that it is a good place to shop.

Went in to buy a cup of hot coffee and they wouldnt make it because it was too late. It was 7:15 pm and they close at 10 but somehow it was too late to make coffee.

Best mini market in our neighborhood – good deli, wide grocery selection, and great beer; they are also really responsive to stocking things customers ask for.

I love this mini market! Great variety of fresh produce, organic, vegan, meats too!, frozen Amys meals galore, household basics, deli!, a one stop wonder.

This place is SO much nicer than nearby Key Foods. Selection is great and wholesome, produce looks delicious, prices are good and the staff is friendly.

Best in the neighborhood. Others dont come close to variety of natural and specialty groceries. Vegeterian sandwitches are great

I just went to get some local beer. They have a good selection and it was easy to find what I wanted.
